Motorola Deutschland has just been asked by the Mannheim Regional Court to cease all Moto X and Moto G sales in Germany, thanks to a patent owned by LPKF Laser & Electronics. Over the past year, Motorola has struggled to return from what seemed like the brink of destruction. The company was purchased by Google, where it received an infusion of great ideas and developed a better overall direction for its products. As a result, the Moto X and Moto G have been released with no shortage of positive feedback despite limited commercial success compared to the other Android heavyweights.

As it turns out, these two phones have a feature inside them that has caused a patent dispute to form with a company called LPKF. From that, a court in Germany has decided these phones can’t be sold anymore.

Laser Direct Structuring is a popular method of creating radio antennae for many different kinds of electronics. Motorola uses this process for the wireless radios in the Moto X and Moto G, but this process was apparently patented by LPKF in China back in 2013. LPKF has since engaged in multiple patent lawsuits regarding use of this process both in and out of China, and the Mannheim Regional Court has just handed them one of their most significant victories to date.

On top of halting all current sales for the Moto X and Moto G, Motorola will be asked to pay compensation to LPKF while they sort out some kind of agreement that allows the phones to once again be sold in Germany. This seems like the kind of legal decision Motorola is going to want to quickly appeal, but whether it is through an agreement with LPKF, or through successful appeal, Motorola claims it have taken steps to ensure there are no disruptions in supply.
